Bill Schuette tweeted on Monday that President Donald Trump is 'placing the security of Americans first'

Michigan Attorney General Bill Schuette tweeted on Monday evening his support of President Donald Trump's recent executive order barring immigrants from seven countries.

In a series of three tweets, Schuette said that he believes in an immigration policy that "discriminates against no one," that Trump's order is "not a ban on Muslims, and he is placing the security of Americans first."

The US must have an immigration policy that provides safety and security for our nation.

Trump signed the executive order Friday, banning the State Department from issuing visas to immigrants from seven countries for 90 days: Iran, Iraq, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, Syria and Yemen. The order also stops all refugees from entering the country for 120 days. A federal judge issued an emergency stay for people with valid visas who had arrived at airports or were already on their way.
